City of Stars

Meet City of Stars, the little sister shawl to [Red Sky at Night!][1] ***City of Stars is 50% off for a limited time; just $3, no coupon code needed!*** City of Stars uses a beautiful mosaic star stitch to create clusters of color between rows of garter stitch. This beautiful shawl is knit with fingering weight using two skeins of main color paired with ten mini skeins. It can be knit with more than ten contrast colors, or as few as one; it can be knit in a gentle gradient like mine, or crazy stripes, or anything in between. The shawl starts at one corner point, increases are worked until the widest part, then decreases are worked back to the final point. The shawl looks just as good on the front side as on the reverse side! Emma's Yarn Theme Packs come in ten coordinating colorways, making them a perfect fit for this shawl design. **Size:** 70x50x39” / 178x127x99cm. **Needles:** US 5 / 3.75mm or size to obtain gauge; circular, at least 24” / 60cm. **Gauge:** 28 sts and 38 rows = 4”/ 10cm in Star stitch pattern. Gauge is not crucial but differences will affect yardage and finished dimensions. **Yarn:** fingering weight in at least two colors: **MC:** 660 yards / 606 meters; and **CCs:** any number of colors totaling 750 yards / 688 meters. **Notions:** tapestry needle. **Sample sknit in:** Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Sock (80% Superwash Merino, 20% nylon; 400 yards / 100g) in Wish You Were Beer (MC) and Simply Spectacular Smalls Theme Pack (10 minis, each 80 yards / 20g) in Sweetheart; and Emma’s Yarn Super Silky (80% superwash Merino, 20% Silk; 400 yards / 100g) in Harbor (MC) and Super Silky Smalls Theme Pack (10 minis, each 80 yards / 20g) in Welcome to the Jungle.
